COME AND VISIT!! And you yourself could end up being amazing like the guy in the painting, slaying dragons and being a hero to EVERYONE!!(you can not blame anybody for serious injury or death when you visit... it is your fault)
Where our religion, politics, and economic didn’t work out with the last people so we're trying something different. Where Shakespeare can make fun of the parliament and they're too clueless to understand in the literary work the Twelfth Night. Where some people are now questioning if we're human or some type of weird creature, I guess. We're all still looking up since our depressions over and we have a babe, Queen Elizabeth... hint hint, as a leader. It only seems like we can go forward from here, our economy is thriving in the new ideals; which we stole from the old culture. Who would have thought our ancestors would have gotten it right. I mean no one listens to their parents: Henry, 6 wives tisk, tisk. Plus feudalism isn't dead yet the founders put it in the American Constutition like 200 hundred years later liar.

Also, where we only contributed 4 major advancements in 400 years?!?!?!
Magna Carta – Something that helped government…. We hope
Printing Press- YEAHHHHH modern day computers
Renaissance- Rebirth of things we already had… pretty much Buddhism
Reformation- more religious stuff

HUMANISM


Don't feel like you're agreeing with the church so much anymore?
Feel like science explains everything better?
Want to be a new, more independent you?
Well then Humanism is right for you!
We've got new ways of thinking and explanation, new appreciation for the things that YOU like, not just what you're told to like. Enjoy the beauty of the world and all the things in it. Don't just worry about working and money anymore, enjoy the good things in life as a Humanist.

 this is a secret message. if you are reading this then you WIN!!!Printing press- Now: modern day computer
Printing press- Arguably it is one of the most technological advances in this time period. If the printing press was never invented, then the cultural and industrial revolutions would never of happened. It helped churches, by letting everyone have a bible, especially in their own language. This also led to the spreading of people ideas.

The magna Carta- Really olllddd paper... written in old latin.


Magna Carta- Ever got that annoying King/Queen that you just want to put them in their place? That you need to teach them a lesson on how to rule and be a good person? Well you could always write them a strongly worded letter... (Because that will work oh so well....) try using something like the Magna Carta. This document worked once apon a time to keep King John of England in check. It was an attempt to limit his power and protect citizens. This worked so well, that by the 19th century almost all of the requirements had been repealed and fixed.
